    Sister in Law found this playing card in her wall during remodeling. Home was built in 1930 (Oklahoma). The intitials JG on the back of the card look like a 1920's-30s typeface. The art seems southwestern, a little reminiscent of Art Deco I think. (Just a tad) looks like New Mexico or Arizona Native Americans. Anybody know more about this card or designer?

      It seems to be themed after the Pueblo indians from New Mexico, because of the adobe houses in the background.

      @Ripley206 yeah, I was thinking Fred Harvey too, but the JG initials keeps throwing me off. I couldn't find initials on any other cards He or Congress Playing Cards produced. I'm thinking it stands for Jay Gatsby ;D (kidding)

      @mcheconi thanks let me add that into my search parameters and see if this helps.
